370z as a track day car

[lennyr29]

Any one using a 370z as a track day car and what are your thoughts as thinking of buying one ?

For teh money you could get a Caterham surely?

For a track car, definitely not.

Cost is one issue, especially when the 350Z is so similar and arguably better all round. As a track car, both are miles too heavy so you have the costs of brakes and tyres to cope with.

However, and this comes from numerous trackdays in my old 350Z, they are tremendous fun if you're happy with the costs. Great balance, more than enough power, and with a few chassis tweaks (bracing, suspension add-ons for adjustment) they're really are superb. Mine was a 80/20 road/track car though, and I would have chosen a hundred different other cars if I was buying a car solely for track use.

You'd better feel really happy with your purchase though when a standard S1 Elise comes haring past at the second corner!

Too heavy and not as playful as you would expect from a 300+ bhp rwd.

guess I am looking for more fun than being the quickest, as more road than track use. And would always drive to the track in the same car. Thanks for the feed back.
